Book Description:
Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there's solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

I was surprised that, after all the hype about this book, I hated it. No alcohol. No smoking. No pop. No sugar. No carbs. No dairy. No meat. At one point they called the readers fat pigs at the trough. I just couldn't get into the tone of this book. It was not for me.

This book blew my mind! The authors employ a very blunt, no-nonsense approach to healthy eating. They support veganism as the healthiest lifestyle option, but they provide enough information to allow the reader to draw her own conclusions about what works for her. Personally, I plan to integrate a lot of their ideas into my family's lifestyle.

Wow, I was so impressed with this book! I expected it to be gimmicky, but instead I was totally wowed by the innovative ideas and careful research presented in this book. The girls' approach is a bit unusual, but I can't wait to try out their ideas. Highly recommended!!

This is a very informative book about what it in our food. BEWARE, it is written by vegans, and they are advocating becoming a vegan. They are, in fact, trying to scare you into it. If you can deal with that, it is a very interesting and informative book.

Great book and it finally convinced me to become Vegan. I'm already a vegetarian and had been thinking about becoming Vegan. Now I'm starting the process with the help of this book and the many resources they cited. It's a great quick look into why being Vegan is a good thing and how horrible meat and overly processed food is for you.

The title of this one grabbed me. I figured with that kind of attitude, the diet has to be really good. Well, I was sadly dissapointed. The advice is to stop eating all dairy, all meat, eggs, fish, sugar,caffeine, additives, sweeteners, soda, etc. It is basically an advertisement of the vegan lifestyle and has some horrendous stories about the meat industry I wish I hadn't read.

This is a great book. I learned a lot about how animals are treated before becoming the food on your table. It's written like they're your best friends, telling you like it is. If you are sensitive, the style may not be for you.

I had a hard time with this book because I have been lo carb brainwashed. It says to eat no meat because we don't have 3 inch insisors! But I love meat and dairy and pop! Don't think I could realistically follow the diet, plus, there's really no plan, it just has a bunch of stuff not to eat...no recipes, no meal plans, no lists.

A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous! "You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth and expect to lose weight." (Does contain some bad language.)

Good guide for those willing to go vegan and cut out a lot of unhealthy foods.

Vegan, PETA-esque propaganda dressed up as a hip tell-all. I don't care that this promotes veganism, I do care that I was misled (almost halfway into the book) to believe that this book actually cared about my health. I feel for all the gullible girls out there who might not come to the same conclusions I did.
I freaking love this book. I mean I ordered it on a lark so I was pleasantly surprised! I def reccomend it. It looks like a light read but its actually very informative and easy to read!
Excellent book for getting in the mindset to loose weight.
An easy-to-read introduction to a low-fat vegan lifestyle. Humorous with enough little nuggets of information to take with you if you're looking to revamp your diet. A fun read!
The authors crash almost offending style is hilarious! It is a wake up call reading about the meat industry. I will be going mostly vegan after reading this book.
I loved it. A tough love way to help us eat better and do better.
There was no way I could apply these tips to my diet. I would like to actually eat something besides raw vegetables. And I don't think having a beer or a glass of wine is disgusting.
Julia A. (This is an excellent book. It really makes you THINK about WHAT you are eating. I don't think I can look at food the same way ever again. I highly recommend this book.
I just loved this book. It was very informative and you will learn a lot about food you never knew about. Can't say enough on how great this book is.
